Citrus County Schools (FL)

Welcome Citrus County Schools coaches and administrators!

Citrus County Schools in partnership with Human Kinetics Coach Education offers the online courses Coaching Principles, Sport First Aid, and Coaching [Sport] Technical and Tactical Skills to certify coaches in your district and to earn the Florida Department of Education Athletic Coaching Endorsement. Coaches earn certification by successfully completing the required courses online and passing the course exams with a minimum score of 80 percent.

The sport-specific courses (with the exceptions of football, golf, tennis, and volleyball; these include e-books only) include accompanying print textbooks. Coaching Principles and Sport First Aid online courses also include accompanying textbooks, but you have the choice of receiving the textbooks as e-books or printed texts.

E-book course options
In choosing which course format is best for you, consider that with the e-book version, you’ll gain immediate access to the course, nothing will be shipped to you, and you will avoid shipping charges. The e-book is accessed through the online course using Adobe Digital Editions (which you can download free of charge). Click here for technical requirements for accessing e-books and viewing online courses.

E-book course packages
Purchase Coaching Principles and Sport First Aid e-book courses together and save. After adding each individual course to your shopping cart, enter the promo code FLCP, and you’ll get them for the combined price of $80.00. That’s a savings of $20, and you don’t have to pay for shipping!

Print-book course options The print-book version provides you with the tangible benefits of having a physical book at your fingertips. The textbook is an excellent reference and is a valuable addition to any coach’s library. The drawbacks are that you have to wait for the book to be shipped to you—and you pay for that shipping. When purchasing courses à la carte, you still get immediate access to your course*, but without the textbook in hand, you’re missing a big piece of the learning experience. To get the most benefit from the course, we recommend you wait for the book to arrive before you dive into the course.

Print-book course packages
Purchase both print-book courses together as one package and save $20!

*Please note that when purchasing the print-book course package, you will not have immediate access to your courses. You will need to wait for the course materials to be shipped to you. These materials include the print textbooks and key code letters. Key codes are required to “unlock” your online courses on the website.
